VA127 Medieval Guards on Duty

This is another great set from Valdemar. These figures supposed to be on guard in a castle. Well I'm going to use them in an other way. But more about that in another post.

In the review on Plastic Soldier Review the figures are in resin, as you can see here, but the ones I've painted are made from metal. I must confess that I rather paint plastic figures, but in this case I made an exception. I just had some trouble with the spears. I didn't get them all straight. The painting went well and they are very good sculpted. The rating on PSR, with all 10's is well deserved.

Nice set and well painted..pity about the spears. ...I have never managed to get one of the soft metal spears exactly straight and it stay straight..I throw them away and replace them with plastic or home made ones. PSR..they reviewed the last three sets from valdemar as plastic..I know there are only 4 sets existing in plastic/resin..all the rest are in metal ;-DCheerspaul

About me

Like many others before me, who started a blog, I wanted to create a space where I can show the things I’ve made in the hobby of small figures. I tumbled in it many years ago, and it all started with the good old Airfix figures, planes and tanks. Now I have a big range of figures of many manufacturers, covering a lot of periods. But my favourite period is still the Napoleonic one.
The blogs name is called after a joke, that started on Benno’s Figures forum. Just do search over there to “my cave” and you will find it.
I also want to thank Paul, Maurice, Benno and Rich for pushing me into it!
